Do you have Thanksgiving turkey leftovers? If so, this is the perfect recipe to make a delicious meal this weekend. I actually made this recipe a week ago, using chicken- but it will taste equally delicious using the turkey leftovers many of you have in the fridge!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving- a wonderful evening with family and friends! Sam and I, along with his brother enjoyed our dinner at Hill Country BBQ– we had a relaxing, football-watching afternoon!

Are any of you venturing out for Black Friday sales? I have never done it, and will probably never start my shopping that early. I prefer to start of my post-Thanksgiving Day with a nice run- especially with the beautiful DC weather today.

If you’re not a spicy eater, definitely skip the chili’s (or use less). Although I used chicken in this recipe, feel free to swap for leftovers turkey or tofu, or skip meat all together. More veggies are always delicious- so don’t hesitate to add extra’s if you have them in the fridge!

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot. Add in the carrots and onions, cook and stir occasionally for 5 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Then add in the coconut mixture, the salt and pepper. Stirring frequently, increase the heat to high, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the mixture reduces and begins to brown. Reduce the heat to medium, add in the broth. Bring to a boil, then stir in the half of the zucchini. Then simmer for 45 minutes, when the zucchini is tender.

After the zucchini is well cooked, add in the rest of the zucchini and the chicken, cook for about 5 minutes until the meat is thoroughly heated. Add in the rice, then divide and serve.
